Leann Rimes' ex-husband Dean Sheremet is convinced the singer jeopardised her own career by leaving him for actor Eddie Cibrian, branding it the "dumbest" professional decision she has ever made. The country star's marriage with dancer-turned-chef Sheremet fell apart in 2009, when she was caught cheating with Cibrian on the set of their TV movie Northern Lights.
The infidelity ended both Rimes and Cibrian's marriages and they went on to tie the knot in 2011.
Sheremet has since reflected on the tabloid scandal with E! News, admitting he knew their relationship was in trouble before Rimes' cheating ways were exposed, but he was hopeful they could work out their problems.
He says, "(I thought), 'We'll have a kid, slow down a bit.' Cut to it being a f**king disaster."
Sheremet has since moved on and found success as a chef, but he claims the same can't be said for Rimes' career, which he alleges has flailed since her last hit, 2007's Nothin' Better to Do, which he co-wrote with his then-wife.
He adds, "The dumbest thing she ever did for her career was divorce me, because we were such a good team. The last hit song she had was when she was with me."

"I've been in relationships where there has been infidelity and you're left to feel like you did something wrong. Like there's something wrong with you, you're not enough, all of those feelings that we struggle with... And it's not just a woman thing." Jennifer Lopez blamed herself when past lovers cheated on her.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa has accused his estranged wife Amber Rose of deliberately sabotaging his birthday plans for their son on Saturday (21Feb15) by failing to show up with the boy. The Black and Yellow hitmaker took to Twitter.com to voice his displeasure with the situation, which prevented their baby Sebastian, aka Bash, enjoying the pirate-themed party the hip-hop star had organised for his kid's second birthday.
Early on Saturday, an excited Khalifa tweeted, "we bout to party super hard for my young prince. #BashDay (sic)", but he returned to the site hours later to share a number of sad images of the cake and presents that had been left untouched after his boy's no-show.
One caption simply stated, "Only thing missing was bash."
Khalifa then took aim at Rose, without mentioning her by name, by lamenting, "ive (sic) never voiced my true unhappiness out of fear of the person I was with and what she would do to make me more unhappy of (if) anyone knew."
He continued to champion fathers' rights, and admitted he just needs "some help" as he fights over custody of his boy, tweeting, "standing up for all fathers who need, deserve, or can't find help. as a man, and a dad you'll feel like, 'I got this.' but who got us?"
He added, "very greatful (sic) for my amazing support system right now. especially my mom and dad. this is tough for them too. they raised me normal (sic) and want the same for my son without the evil that fame brings."
The rapper went on to clear up rumours suggesting his infidelity led to his split from Rose last year (14), insisting her claims are not true.
He wrote, "anyone who really knows me knows that I never cheated on amber... i feel like its (sic) my responsibility to make sure you have the truth and aren't misguided so we can all move like bosses."
The model has yet to respond to the allegations. The dispute between the estranged couple isn't the only feud Rose has become involved in - she has also been trading barbs online with her ex-boyfriend Kanye West and his sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian after publicly calling out rapper Tyga, 25, for leaving her good friend Blac Chyna and reportedly romancing the Kardashians' 17-year-old half-sister, Kylie Jenner.

"It was done in real time while the tabloids were talking about the stuff that was happening in her life... It made me so uncomfortable, it was horrible; they had children on the show and, poor thing, I just wanted to be like, 'You need help, you need to get these cameras out'. It made me so uncomfortable I actually stopped watching the show. It was too real." Mila Kunis had to turn off Tori Spelling's reality series True Tori when the show started focusing on the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star's battle to save her marriage following husband Dean McDermott's infidelity.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa launched a furious Twitter attack on his estranged wife Amber Rose on Wednesday (04Feb15), branding her a "foul creature". Model and aspiring singer Rose filed to end her one-year marriage to the Black and Yellow hitmaker in September (14), amid allegations of his infidelity, and the former couple is currently battling for custody of their only child, two-year-old son Sebastian.
And it appears the matter isn't going well for Khalifa, who took issue with his visitation rights this week (beg02Feb15) and took to Twitter.com to vent his frustration in a series of posts.
Without mentioning Rose by name, he wrote, "a woman who would do something to a kid to spite that kids (sic) father is a foul creature."
He later added, "Seen my boy. All is well. That's pretty much the only thing that can spin my universe out of control. Sucks when people try to use that against you but the cool part is figuring out how much self control you have. as long as he's playing and smiling i'm cool. can't be p**sed when i see that handsome face (sic)."
Khalifa also shut down all talk of a possible reconciliation with Rose when a Twitter follower asked him if he wanted to get back with his ex - he simply replied, "no thanks".

Praise the Lord, #TGIT is back! To prepare, we spoke with Scandal's Tony Goldwyn, A.K.A. President Fitzgerald Grant, about what it's like portraying the President of the United States of America, where Fitz is at emotionally after the loss of his son, and of course, we discussed Olivia Pope.
We’re curious, do people have a hard time differentiating you as an actor because you play such an huge figure on TV as President Grant? Have fans ever called you the President?
I’m not sure if it has to do with being the President. I guess I do get a certain type of respect that I wouldn’t get if it was just me. People seem to get a real kick out of that. People tend to call me “The President” a lot.
What do you have to do to get into the mentality of such as powerful character?
Now it’s pretty natural because I’ve been doing it for a while. But in the first and second season, the thing I had to remind myself all the time, the degree of pressure the president is always under, every single second of every single day, there is so much stress, and so much weighing on every single moment. You have to have a sort of grace under that pressure. That kind of informs everything and to find grace under that pressure and a way of being cool in the face of that. The stakes were always really high and once I internalized that, it was extremely helpful.
Where would you say Fitz is at emotionally/mentally over the loss of his oldest son Jerry?
Oh god, the loss of his son Jerry almost killed him. Then there was the loss of Olivia that happened at the end of last season. But then Olivia returned and even though they’re not together, she’s back in his life in a way. But there’s hope, as he discovered. But the death of Jerry focused Fitz in a way that he’s determined. When he then lost Olivia, he was lost and utterly destroyed inside, but he was determined to be as effective a president as he can be. Now Olivia’s back and, as of the last episode in the mid-season finale, which I directed, Olivia’s been kidnapped. Fitz is being blackmailed now, that if he doesn’t go into this war in West Angola, that she will be killed and he’ll never see her again. Now Fitz has a terrible problem, because that completely undermines everything he intended to do in the wake of his son’s death to honor that memory and his job. But also the loss of Olivia is something that he can’t tolerate because he’s so desperately in love with her and so dependent on her.
How far do you think he would go to save Olivia?
I don’t know. We’ll have to see where everything goes, I can’t give any spoilers. But it’s sort of an existential crisis for Fitz. He has a responsibility to his job, the country, and everything he sees himself being about. But at the same time Olivia means more to him than anything in the world. It’s just an impossible quantity of situations.
Can you explain what it’s like to portray that relationship? What Olivia and Fitz have is nothing like anything else on TV.
You know what it is, these two people connect on a very, very deep level – emotionally, sexually, intellectually – everything. And at the same time, it’s an impossible relationship. The circumstances of their lives make it impossible. They keep making it more impossible. But it’s one of those relationships, that no matter what happens, once they’re in proximity of each other, all bets are off. They can’t deny the connection that they have. They can be enraged with each other, whatever their opinions are of what they should think; it just evaporates when they’re in each other’s presence. It’s an undeniable baseline reality of who they are to each other. It’s a very extreme kind of thing that happens.
Do you think there is something very specific about that relationship that has so many fans rooting for them, despite the fact that Fitz is married?
Well look, Fitz and Olivia it’s not just any infidelity. The truth is, yes they had an affair but you know Fitz has been in a very dysfunctional marriage and has stood up forthrightly and asked his wife for a divorce. He told Olivia he was leaving his wife. He said to Olivia 2 years ago, “I’m done, I’m choosing you.” He’s not some man who just wont leave his wife. He’s tried everything to be with the woman he loves, and Olivia, in collusion with Mellie, has blocked it. She’s forced him to wait. I know people have an issue with the infidelity but it’s not like his wife doesn’t know and he hasn’t been honest about it. And for that, I have no moral judgment about that as far as Fitz, he’s not trying to have his cake and eat it too. He’s transgressed and sinned, but so has Mellie and so has Olivia, they’re all human.

What’s different about Olivia’s relationship with Jake versus Fitz?
I think that Jake and Olivia’s relationship is one thing, but Fitz and Olivia, I believe separate from these insane circumstances of him being the President and all the pressures that come to bear and all of Olivia’s fears about intimacy and giving herself over to someone. I think Fitz believes and I believe, in his advocacy, that if she would do what he said, they would be able to begin something substantial and powerful. They could have a family together. Hell, they’re not going to move to Vermont and he’s not going to be the mayor, that’s a fantasy but they could, as a couple, build a life together and it would be so much more powerful than they are separate. They could have a very ideal relationship, I believe. I think her relationship with Jake is something different. It’s an escape for all that. Maybe they would have a successful relationship. I do believe Olivia loves both men. But I also think that she and Fitz have a very deep connection on so many levels, professionally, and in so many ways. I think there is more heft to it.. Then there is their chemistry, while she and Jake have good chemistry, Fitz and Olivia have a chemistry that is so beyond a sexual connection, it’s that plus so much else.
Do you think that’s what fans really see? When Fitz and Olivia are in a room together, it’s very obvious their feelings and emotions for each other.
It’s super charged. They see each other and know each other in a deep, almost historic way. That was Fitz’s big point in the past, “you know me,” they connect and see the best of each other. They see the true person. I think Jake and Olivia, in a relationship, would be creating a whole new thing. They’d be leaving their life and running away and it would be a whole big thing. Maybe they can start all over and Jake can leave behind his life and start with Olivia. I think with Fitz and Olivia, they could work, if they make their way through his gauntlet. They’ve always known where they’ve been. We don’t know Jake’s past. He’s a mystery figure. He’s been a soldier his whole life. And then a B613 operative.
Switching to Fitz’s other relationship, can you tell us if you think things between Fitz and Mellie will ever recover, not the marriage but just as Fitz and Mellie, after all that’s happened, Jerry’s death on top of it all?
I think it goes back and forth with Mellie. I don’t see Mellie and Fitz recovering their romantic relationship, ever. But at the same time, as much as Fitz was disgusted and offended and to his core just cut Mellie off, when she sort of betrayed him, he still understands Mellie. He knows that’s not who Mellie really is. That’s not who the true Mellie is. That’s the desperate, damaged, wounded Mellie. He’s got the love-hate relationship with Mellie. He has real contempt for what Mellie stands for, but he has intense guilt over his neglect of Mellie. His father raped his wife and he’s got all this guilt. He’s got this complicated thing. But at the same time he respects and loves and admires Mellie for all of her best qualities and he’s also not willing to give up on that. Like so many marriages, it keeps flipping from one to the other, but they have a partnership there. They have a mutual kind of respect in some way. They both know each other’s attributes as each other’s failings.
You directed that crazy mid-season finale. Can we look forward to you directing any more episodes in this season?
No sadly, I don’t have any more for this season.
What was it like directing yourself and then your co-workers, given you’ve been working with them so much and you’re so invested in this storyline?
It’s such an experience to work from inside of it. It’s also a great privilege to be able to work with all these great actors in a different way than when I am acting with them. It’s exciting for all of us. I get to work with people I don’t usually have scenes with, like Guillermo (Huck) and Katie (Quinn), who I don’t ever act with much on screen if at all. It’s wonderful. It’s a great experience.
So, can you give us an unbiased response on whether you’re Team Jake or Team Fitz?
I endorse God fully, but I have to admit that I’m Team Fitz. I say that with full appreciation of the Jake-Olivia relationship. But I think for me, that’s a fantasy relationship, at least now, its not grounded in anything real, it’s an erotically charged escape relationship for both of those people. I think Fitz and Olivia is a relationship based on two people who could be the answer for each other, they may never find their way there, but it’s very real and the facts are established in reality.
Scandal returns to ABC Thursday, January 29th at 9 P.M.

Actress Heidi Mueller is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, American football star Demarco Murray. The Dallas Cowboys running back recently proposed to Mueller and the Passions soap star shared the exciting news with fans by posting a photo of the happy couple on her Instagram.com page on Monday (19Jan15).
Alongside the snap, in which she shows off her big diamond ring, she simply wrote, "We're ENGAGED!!!!!!"
The stars are parents to 18-month-old daughter Savanna June.
News of the engagement emerges weeks after the couple was rumoured to have split amid allegations of Murray's infidelity.
The sportsman hit headlines in December (14), when his former Oklahoma Sooners college teammate Brennan Clay accused his wife, Gina D'Agostini, of having an affair with him.
Clay later recanted his claims and apologised for blasting D'Agostini and Murray, insisting he "jumped to a conclusion that wasn't true".

Pop star FERGIE and her husband Josh Duhamel keep their marriage on track by attending regular therapy sessions. The L.A. Love (La La) hitmaker reveals the couple has embraced the idea of marriage counselling to ensure any problems that may arise are properly discussed and resolved, and she is proud of her husband for taking an active interest in therapy.
She tells America's Allure magazine, "He's not afraid. He doesn't feel like he's not man enough."
Fergie and Duhamel have also set out ground rules to ensure their family life with son Axl isn't thrown into disarray by the singer's upcoming tour plans, as they take turns to play stay-at-home parents.
She explains, "My husband and I made a two-week rule (not to spend over two weeks apart). We've already talked about how we're going to have to trade off.
"He's going to have to come on tour with Axl for a while, and then there'll be a break. He'll take a job; I'll be on set with Axl."
The couple wed in 2009 and the marriage was tested the same year when exotic dancer Nicole Forrester claimed she had slept with the Transformers star.
In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Fergie confessed that dealing with the infidelity allegations against her husband was "difficult", but added, "When you go through difficult times it really makes you stronger as a unit. As a partnership. It does for us anyways. Our love today is a deeper love."
The couple renewed its wedding vows a month after the cheating allegations surfaced.
Fergie told Oprah, "We're strong today because of anything difficult that's happened with us. We deal with it. We communicate. Communicating's the most important thing."

Former couple Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks' split has started to get nasty after she alleged the car he bought her was actually a lease - and the No Air singer has been dumped with the payments. Sparks took aim at her ex in a recent radio interview, insisting the BMW he gave her as a gift during their romance wasn't paid for.
DeRulo has now fired back at the singer on Instagram.com, posting a grainy photo of the purchase document and adding the caption, "Women Lie, Men Lie, Numbers Don't Lie!"
The vehicle bill of sale image clearly shows his full name, Jason J Desrouleaux, as the buyer and the price, $74,431.22 (£46,519.51), as well as the dealer's fee.
In her interview with New York radio show Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, Sparks claimed she didn't realise her ex had allegedly leased the luxury vehicle until she attempted sell it back to the dealership.
The couple split last year (Sep14), but initially insisted they would still be friends.
DeRulo dismissed reports suggesting his infidelity led to the break-up and, despite the BMW mix-up, Sparks insists she still can't bring herself to hate her ex, stating, "He's a great guy. I don't wish him any harm. He did some stupid s**t, but I can't hold that against him."

Pop star Christina Milian is grateful to have moved past her marriage hell to producer The-Dream, so they can co-parent their young daughter without any drama. The singer was heavily pregnant with little Violet in February, 2010, when The-Dream filed for divorce to end their five-month marriage amid rumours of his infidelity.
She gave birth days later and spent the following months fighting with her ex through the court system.
Their divorce was finalised in 2011 and now Milian reveals the former couple is on "great" terms as the stars navigate how best to raise Violet while Milian films her new reality TV show, Christina Milian Turned Up, which also features the tot.
She explains, "(Violet's) father and I, we're in a really great place. He and I have grown into this really great place, this partnership as part of our parenting now, and he trusts me. At the end of the day, I'm Violet's mum and I want the best for her and he understands..."
And Milian reveals her ex has given her permission to include their daughter on her new show, adding, "I definitely asked him permission, we talked about it; we talked about what we felt was right for her, how much time (in front of the camera)... I wanna protect my daughter's privacy as well."
